From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent ( Anthea )
Chapter 243

Chapter 243 

Gemma finally abandoned the Idea of seeking out Carole right away. 

In the evening 

When Soul and Vanessa heard the news, they were beside themselves with excitement. 

Fifty million and three storefront properties 

Good heavens! They had never seen so much money in their lives. 

“Honey, starting tomorrow, we won’t have to clock in at work anymore. We’re going to be rich guys!” Soul hugged Vanessa, his voice shaking with excitement. 

Vanessa was thrilled too, “Can you believe your little sister? Always so quiet, and now look at her–a few months and she’s opened up her own diner.” 

“She didn’t pull that off on her own!” Saul sneered, “Didn’t you hear what the eldest said? Carole’s being kept by some rich sugar daddy! All those goodies are from him!” 

Vanessa dropped the subject and continued, “I’ve been thinking, once we get that fifty million tomorrow, let’s buy a villa in the same neighborhood as your sister. With the rest, we can hire four housekeepers…” 

Vanessa had always envied Elaine for being a wealthy housewife, having several housekeepers, and not needing to lift a finger. 

Now, it was her time to shine, no longer living in Elaine’s shadow. 

Saul nodded in agreement, “Babe, don’t forget about the diner! Mom said you’re in charge of the finances, and I’m the boss. We’ll be the perfect team, work will be a breeze!” 

Having control over the finances was something Vanessa naturally desired. 

That night the Yeager family, including Saul and Vanessa, hardly slept a wink. 

Driven by excitement, they were up and about at 5:30 in the moming. 

In the winter dawn, the sky was still dark. 

The family sat in the living room, strategizing the future of the diner and then discussing how to spend that fifty million. 

Vanessa suggested hiring a few housekeepers to take good care of Gemma, 

Gemma couldn’t stop smiling, proud of her considerate daughter–in–law. 

Not like Carole, Money had made her forget her roots 

At seven in the morning, the family stepped out into the frosty air and headed to the condo complex where Carole lived. 

Gemma surveyed the surroundings. Compared to the basement Carole used to live in, this was heaven on earth 

Money changes everything! 

Carole could afford such a fine place to live, yet lacked the heart to bring her family over to enjoy the good life! The nerve of her! 

Carole had just finished preparing breakfast when she heard a series of knocks on the door. 

As she opened it, she frowned slightly at the sight of her visitors. 

Vanessa greeted her with a smile, “Carole, we are here to see you, Merry Christmas!” 

Carole ignored her “What are you doing here?” 

“What? Can’t I visit my own daughter’s home?” Gemma grabbed Carole’s hand, “Carole, no matter what, you’re my flesh and blood. Can’t your parents come over to see how you’re doing?” 

With that, Gemma muscled past Carole and hade herself at home. 

“Wow, this is some fancy decor And look that–is that Black Forest Ham? Why on earth is it just sitting on the floor!” Gemma hastily picked it up. 

The nerve of her, wasting such an expensive delicacy and not even thinking to share with her own mother! Gemma cursed inside of her 

Carole’s frown deepened. Those Black Forest Ham and tonics were gifts from Kendrick on his last visit, 

She hadn’t expected her parents to drop in unannounced, so she hadn’t put them away.  S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Felton sat at the dining table with a stern face, “We haven’t had breakfast yet. Go fix us something! Stop standing there like a statue!“, 

Just then, the door was pushed open from the outside, 

“If I’m not mistaken, a voice said from the entrance, “my mother cut ties with you all last time, right?”
